Due to all that goes on in todays world how can I know this is totally, really honest, reliable, safe, un-hackable, trustworthy??http://www.businessinsider.com/c/540302556bb3f7251cbef4d5Kai NilsenSun, 31 Aug 2014 07:09:09 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/540302556bb3f7251cbef4d5
What the fuck is this?`An advertisement? Your password can still easily be harvested even with the use of LastPass or the free alternative KeePass.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5402f4fc69beddf735bef4d5I agreeSun, 31 Aug 2014 06:12:12 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5402f4fc69beddf735bef4d5
I use an encryption tool, and store my passwords on a USB drive. It cannot be hacked when not plugged in to the computer. Look passwords up offline and then go online.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5402f489ecad047e76fefaf2Ignorant FoolSun, 31 Aug 2014 06:10:17 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5402f489ecad047e76fefaf2
I find "Password" works good, never been hacked.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5402c2cf69bedddd294fba67Bobd dSun, 31 Aug 2014 02:38:07 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5402c2cf69bedddd294fba67
The way I store passwords is using keepass. It is a encrypted password file, but offline. Then I store that in a encrypted truecrypt file.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5402bc07ecad048b02a167e8Your Personal Friend From The NSASun, 31 Aug 2014 02:09:11 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5402bc07ecad048b02a167e8

So if I am on vacation, at work, or somewhere without my phone or laptop and need to access any of my accounts be it email, bank, or whatever, how do I get into those accounts.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/54027c0869beddb56c4fba66hitoshianatomiSat, 30 Aug 2014 21:36:08 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/54027c0869beddb56c4fba66
Is managing many passwords for many accounts by a single master-password so different to using one password across many accounts?
ID federations (single-sign-on services and password managers) create a single point of failure, not unlike putting all the eggs in a basket. It remembers all my passwords when un-hacked and loses all my passwords to criminals when hacked. It could be considered mainly for low-security accounts, not for high-security business. Needless to say, the strength of the master-password is crucially important.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/54025d8e69beddea604fba6aGordonXSat, 30 Aug 2014 19:26:06 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/54025d8e69beddea604fba6a

I have been using Lastpass for about a year and it works great. Once you setup Lastpass, and you login to Lastpass, for that session whatever site you access, it auto-magically fills in your userid and password. It creates passwords as complex as you can conceive, I believe up to 99 character/numbers/special characters long...much more complex and longer than any site requires or accepts. It is a well-known site and has been around for quite some time as these go, since 2008. For a single user it is free. I understand the hesitancy to give a company the keys to your kingdom, but the risks of using the same password for all your sites is not a good solution, and most passwords could be cracked in minutes by a good hacker.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/54024b93eab8eaf566b4dff8agreeSat, 30 Aug 2014 18:09:23 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/54024b93eab8eaf566b4dff8
... and if it's a U.S. based company, somehow, the government will get access to all your stored passwords.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5402471f69bedd4c7f4fba66Paul BenjouSat, 30 Aug 2014 17:50:23 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5402471f69bedd4c7f4fba66
Banks encrypt their data and are hacked all the time. Fools rush in.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/540246a6eab8eac163b4dff4Paul BenjouSat, 30 Aug 2014 17:48:22 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/540246a6eab8eac163b4dff4
Seriously? Do you really think I would trust ANY third party App to secure my passwords? Hey fox! Here are the keys to the chicken coop!

I never forget my password because I only use simple stuff like 123456 or Hello123http://www.businessinsider.com/c/54023a226bb3f7e8515a65abjimmy mactheknifeSat, 30 Aug 2014 16:54:58 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/54023a226bb3f7e8515a65ab
SADLY, all of this encryption and strong password talk is just a bunch of blather. The NSA in the USA, GCHQ in Great Britain and the other five eyes partners have the ability to get into any encrypted communication or access any accounts via the front door with the encrypter's permission or the back door if not. The most recent egregious example of hacking into our banking system by supposed Russian Intelligence went so deep in to Chase that account data could be manipulated either adding to or subtracting from account balances at will. So, IMHO, if you want to make a hackers job even easier, just give them the keys to your data at this web site.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/540235d069bedd88314fba68DH, the real one not the squatterSat, 30 Aug 2014 16:36:32 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/540235d069bedd88314fba68
I need help
I keep forgetting my password to paypal, amazon, my bank, my 401K, and my accounts at Vanguard, Fidelity, and my trading account. If I write them down at home, someone might find them and steal my million dollar savings.
Paying a stranger to keep my passwords somewhere else and give them back to me, automatically, when I need to sign in is much better. Especially since a popular internet site says they're good people. Thank god they're encrypted. Otherwise, a set-up like this might be risky.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/54022ef8ecad040744a167e8mjlSat, 30 Aug 2014 16:07:20 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/54022ef8ecad040744a167e8
Is this a paid ad? Shouldn't it be labeled as such?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/540228dfeab8eab76db4dff3Alan Carl BrownSat, 30 Aug 2014 15:41:19 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/540228dfeab8eab76db4dff3
That's right. Give your passwords to a company you've never heard of and all will be well.
